Outraged over the illegal invasion of land in Phillipi which is being for initiation. Traditional Surgeon Sikelela Zokufa has labelled it as disrespecting the Xhosa culture.

The land was invaded by a group of people allegedly Sesikhona members.  Zokufa has called on the Western Cape government together with Metro Municipality to speedily intervene in this matter. 

Zokufa said there were three huts with the boys under the process of initiation. I am questioning Ses’skhona leaders about why they allowed community members or backyarders to invade that piece of land.

“It tells me that they (Ses’khona) do not respect us and our culture.” Zokufa added.
